®Shipyard Experience
Projects with 5 different shipyards:– Different installation methods– Different construction schedules– Different scopes of delivery
The common goal of shipyards?– Standardized solutions– Minimized installation time
The challenge: Develop standardized solutionsflexible enough to fit the variableneeds and capabilities of shipyards.
